effect of social capital(communication networks) on the commercial performance of private sports facilities with a mediating role of service quality. The present study is descriptive-correlative in terms of applied purpose. The statistical population of the study was all coaches and graduates of sports active in sports clubs in the western provinces of the country. The statistical sample was selected as a multi-stage cluster and simple random sampling. To collect data, the Social Capital Questionnaire (Alvani and Seyednaghi, 2001), Service Quality (Kamali, 2017) and the researcher-made business performance questionnaire were used and the face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts (13 people). Its reliability was also calculated using Cronbach's alpha test (0.95) and combined reliability. Structural equation modeling in PLS3-SPSS24 software has been used to analyze the data and check the model fit. The results showed that social capital and service quality have a significant effect on the commercial performance of sports venues. Social capital also has a significant effect on the quality of services. Finally, the effect of social capital on business performance was mediated by the quality of service. According to the results, it can be said that the higher the amount of social capital, the higher the quality of services and, consequently, the commercial performance of these places.
